There's huge value in saying, fuck it, I'm just going to write what I want to write, the way I want to write it.

Jessie Buckley dedicated her Oscar win to "the beautiful chaos of a mother’s heart." She was incredible in Hamnet! If you haven't seen this movie yet, take lots of tissues.❤️🩹 #BestActress #Hamnet
“There has always been an abundance of bullshit. But never before have so many been implicated in the bullshit rigmarole that is public conversation.”
The End of Absence by Michael Harris was published in 2014. Been thinking about this quote a lot lately.
Yay! Made the longlist! Congrats to everyone!

The Break by Katherena Vermette.
Writing dialogue > do you use quotation marks or drop them? I've always used them because it's what I was taught, and it's technically correct, but I don't like the look of them. They just feel like added noise to the page.

Good luck! I just resurrected a story I put aside 2 years ago and I'm re-reading all my notes. Oh my... 🥴
Here they are as promised! A new batch of prompts for 2025 from me to you with love & gratitude. 🎁 Give 15 minutes a day to your writing during this busy season and start 2026 with 15 fresh drafts or at least some glimmers. Use January to polish and send off. ❤ open.substack.com/pub/artoffla...
My husband brought home a newspaper and the smell of it has made me feel so happy and nostalgic.😊 #HappySaturday

Great micro writing class tonight with @tommydeanwriter.bsky.social at @fracturedlit.bsky.social. Thank you! 👏
I live in a university town and the things I see/hear in local coffee shops... On a positive note, I seem to be mastering the art of deep breathing.
Emma Thompson really hates AI as a #writer and I love her for that. 🔥
Great news! Congrats to everyone nominated 👏
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! 🍁

Well at least the real witches are safe. Why was this page updated two weeks ago? 🤔
Do you ever think about the fact that Wikipedia is the last good major website on the internet? You aren't bombarded with ads. It doesn't try to push video on you, and it doesn't redirect you to a scam site.
Gotta love a good Wikipedia rabbit hole.
